Been awhile since I've been on here.
Please check out my Facebook page and like. I try to put up tips and tricks every week.

The first image is what I did yesterday.
I liked where it was going but , it was missing something. DIRECTION.
What is my focal point ? 
What is my light source ?
Do I keep you in the image ?
The answer is NO to all three.
So I went back and tweaked a few things.
The following image is the updated lighting and  angle. I feel the new angle is stronger. The other three images  are just different crops of the same image. I liked how it created totally different looks just by applying different crops. Always fun to play.

The point here is never stop pushing yourself. The moment you stop pushing is the moment you stop learning. Keep a open mind listen to comments and critiques. Never take them personal. You will become a better artist if you do.

View images at original size to see all the details.

Hi Tim.
I totally share your attitude towards criticism and your point about never to settle. There's a huge amount of skill improvement to gain from that. I encourage all to follow that advice.

When that is said, I don't feel like you have nailed this render yet. I think you need to keep pushing ;)
My eyes keeps falling into the gap between the two cars and I'm not sure that was your intend.
I think the downward curve on both cars, the bright spot on the floor and the tangent between the yellow car and the visible floor line is to blame.

Also I feel like the cars are being too close to the top border of the image. I would probably take away 10% from the bottom and add it to the top.

Push it! :)

I will push this some more. I agree with your comments.
Thanks for the push.
